--------- Beck, Ingeborg #2 (6 MAY 1888 – 2 MAR 1954)
A pioneer resident of the city of Owen (Clark Co., Wis.) and the Withee rural area, Ingeborg Christine (Miller) Beck, was place in her final resting place in the Nazareth Lutheran Cemetery at Withee Friday afternoon after funeral services had been conducted in the church with Rev. W. Clayton Nielsen officiating.
She passed away on March 2nd, 1954 at St. Joseph’s Hospital, Marshfield, where she had been a patient since Feb. 4th. For the past three and one-half years she had been suffering from complications inflicted by a stroke.
Serving as pallbearers were six sons, Theo, Jens, Peter, Frederick, Christian and Hans.
Mrs. Beck came to this community in 1909 with her husband, who survives her, and worked laboriously in the development of their rich dairy farm.
Ingeborg Christine Miller was born on May 6, 1880 in the country of Denmark. On Nov. 8, 1901 she was united in marriage to Jens T. Beck, while still living in Denmark. Eight years later the couple came to America, first settling in the city of Owen, which at the time was in a pioneering stage. Here they resided for two years before moving to their present farm located 1 ˝ miles northeast of Withee, which they developed from a woodlot.
Mrs. Beck was one of seven children but only one brother, still living in Denmark, survives her. Her passing is also mourned by her husband, seven sons, Theodore, Jens, Peter, Frederick, Christian Hans and Alfred, and two daughters, Mrs. Anna William and Helene.
One son, Helmer, preceded her in death, giving his life in the defense of his country during World War II in 1944. |
